I'm not saying that's the case here; I do think it's something to think about. Given the purpose of the board, wouldn't it, for example, be counterproductive and waaay off-topic to debate the merits of drugs vs. no drugs? I think most of us recognize an extreme position when we see it. I dunno, it seems like arguing with a flat-earther when one is doing one's level best just to survive, on the round.

Well, I don't know... Drugs do have their downsides... As long as it were civil...

Just because people are "flat-earthers" doesn't mean you have to argue with them...
